I have had a fever all day, with no break?

My normal temp is 97.6. I have never really run any temperatures, well actually I never have, when I was young I have gallstones over flowing, appendicitis, and never ran a fever, I suffer from horrible ear infections, inner, outer, and middle at the same time many times, which caused me to have to have both eardrums reconstructed too times, and yet no fevers. But now I have the flu or something, and amazingly I have a fever of 101.4, and it hasn't gone away between meds, showers or anything. The only reason I am concerned is because my skin feels sunburned, and everyone I have talked to says they don't feel like that with fevers. So it is keeping me from sleeping or being able to have covers on because of the burns, yet my skin is only red in some areas, just some small spots. I can't take the burning anymore, and since I have never run fevers, I don't know that any of this is normal, or when I should be worried about a fever sticking around for too long. Can someone please tell me if any of this is normal? The burning, fever sticking around forever and never letting up. Also my symptoms are really sore neck, and body aches, sinus congestion, but nose is not congested or running, sore throat which is also swollen, a slight cough and I am only 30.
